Gee,
Do you think this may be a scam? YESSSSSS! I've listed a couple of guitars on CL, and both times, I've received an email from "Samantha". Not to be sexist, but Samantha just doesn't sound like the name of someone who plays resonator guitar.
"Hello,
I appreciate your response to my inquiry. Am interested in buying
your musical item. I would have loved to come check it out myself but
I just got married and am presently on honeymoon to Hawaii with my husband.
I would love some surprise inclusions in his music studio in our home on
our return.
Please do withdraw the advert from craigslist as I wouldn't mind
adding $50 for you to do that, so I can be assured that the musical item
is held for me. I have no doubt that it is in good condition as
stated in the ad. I will be making the payment via a Certified Check,
which my secretary will mail across to you.
I'll be picking the item from you with the aid of a mover. My Mover
will be coming to pick it from you once the Certified Check has been
cashed. Please I will need both your full name and physical address
along with your phone number for payment to be facilitated.
Best wishes.
Samantha"
